What is a UPAR?
A Unit Public Affairs Representative (UPAR) is a Soldier designated at the unit level to support public affairs efforts by serving as the liaison between their unit and Strategic Communications. A UPAR is not a Public Affairs officer or NCO, but rather a trained representative who helps ensure their unit’s activities, training, and achievements are documented and communicated properly.
